The fines for economic crimes may increase several times - a State Duma committee recommended adopting a second reading of a bill on more than 30 articles of the criminal law. For illegal entrepreneurship, the maximum will be raised from 300 thousand to 1.5 million rubles, and for an organized group to 2.5 million, for fraud in the business sector to 800 thousand, for counterfeit money to 5 million, for illegal actions in bankruptcy to 2.5 million. The Ministry of Justice and the government explained the changes by saying that some of the fines had not been revised for more than 20 years.
